Winterhalter will launch its UF series of utensil washers at Hotelympia 2016, which will give operators in the foodservice sector “the best results even with the most stubborn baked-on deposits”.
The company’s stand at the event in London will feature two simulator cabins that will demonstrate the effects of the ClimatePlus on the kitchen environment, as well as the working of the new UF utensil washer.
The UF simulator replicates a giant utensil washer, Winterhalter said, including the wash arm so visitors can understand how the new UF Series achieves its sparkling clean results. The new machines take advantage of Winterhalter’s VarioPower technology, which allows the wash pressure to be individually adjusted depending on the items being washed and the degree of soiling. The wash arm design, which gives more power and coverage, coupled with customised washing programmes depending on the type and extent of soiling on the utensils, ensures every item is thoroughly cleaned, Winterhalter continued.
Other new features of the UF machines are foldable doors giving the staff clear access to the interior of the machine and a new rack dolly that means staff can collect dirty utensils and pots before easily pushing the heavy, loaded rack directly from the dolly into the machine. The clean dishes can then be pushed back to the work stations in the same way.
And, talking about the ClimatePlus simulator, Winterhalter said: “The PT ClimatePlus simulator will demonstrate how the warewasher actually cools down a hot kitchen. The PT ClimatePlus passthrough is both a highly effective dishwasher and an air conditioner. Through clever heat exchange technology, the machine not only reuses the energy contained in the steam and waste water inside the machine, but it also extracts the energy contained in the hot atmosphere of the kitchen. It uses this energy to heat up the incoming water supply – slashing energy consumption by up to 53%. This reduces not only running costs but also reduce the amount of extraction that a kitchen requires – plus, it improves the working environment. When the air in the kitchen reaches 25°C the PT ClimatePlus sends its clean, dry exhaust air, cooled to around 18°C, back into the room.”
